About this home

Own a Bill Gass original within walking distance of Town. The Colonial Construction Company built 52 homes in Amherst and no two are alike. The massive central chimney, twelve over twelve windows, thumb latches at the bedrooms, Dutch entry door with wrought iron hardware speaks of a day long ago. This Cape style home could be on the National Register, many Bill Gass homes are.The two bedroom home features all the modern amenities, oil fired hot air system that was refitted with air conditioning, an induction cooktop, seamless Corian counters, peek through upper cabinets, crown molding galore.The pegged Ash floors downstairs and the hardwood in the bedrooms bounce natural light creating a feeling of spaciousness. One of only two houses on the street. The screened area adjacent to the kitchen is perfect for al-fresco dining on warm summer evenings, or if you prefer the outdoor barbecue area is just steps away. This is a quiet street & you will fall in love with the charm!
